Efficient Low-Flow Fume Hoods Consume 50% Less Energy
High performance fume hoods consume 50% less energy than conventional hood designs. As a result, these high performance/low flow hoods are safer, have lower installation costs, and are up to 50% less expensive in operating costs. ChangHai Laboratory Furniture has carried environmentally- and economically-friendly high-performance chemical fume hoods.
Design Ventilation Systems for Safe Labs
High-performance chemical fume hoods are an essential part of safe lab ventilation. Without a functioning fume hood, your lab can quickly fill with contaminated air from vapors and radioactive material. Protect your lab personnel with a ventilation system from Changhai Laboratory Furniture. The better the fume hood’s performance, the safer your facility will be.
We design and remodel laboratories all over the world for better safety. Our award-winning designs incorporate our high quality casework, counters, and other furniture.
Save Green with Environmentally-Conscious Fume Hood Models
Since high performance fume hoods use less energy to operate they deliver lower energy bills for your lab. Use the savings to upgrade the rest of your lab equipment. How do these fume hoods work so well? High performance fume hoods employ a series of design features providing unsurpassed containment and personnel protection:
- Engineered baffle system provides proper air distribution
- Constant air velocity (variable air volume) reduces energy use relative to sash position
- Rounded corners at hood entrance reduce turbulence, improving efficiency
- Aerodynamic sash pull
- Containment trough with directional vanes and white Plascote finish adds durability and chemical resistance
- Cord pass-through lets sash fully close without appliance cords getting in the way
- Lower entrance safety bar provides a personal safety barrier
- 35" high viewing area
- White interior with vapor-proof fluorescent light
- Full-view sash frame with 27-1/2" high interior access
- 18" vertical opening with keyed sash stop to access 27-1/2" set-up position
- Double-wall construction for installation of plumbing and electrical service fixtures
- Round stainless steel duct collar
Advantages of High Performance Chemical Fume Hoods:
- Engineered to exhaust 50% less conditioned air from the laboratory
- Designed to capture fumes while working in today's modern laboratories with varying factors such as lab traffic, fluctuating temperatures and interior hood loading
- Fume capture and containment can be demonstrated with tracer gas testing
- Quiet operation
- Low airflow provides an ideal environment for working with powders and delicate work
Low-flow/high-performance hoods use substantially less energy to operate over the lifetime of the fume hood exhaust system. Every lab has different ventilation requirements. Visit Laboratory Fume Hood Energy Model to calculate your energy needs.
